[Cricket] Sussex CCC - 2024 edition

[Eeyore]

Ooof, Pujara got away with one there - that looked very plumb.

Yes, was rather heart in mouth at my previous post.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Puji gone. Bugger

 

[Hotchilidog]

The decision to bowl first not looking too shabby for Glamorgan right now

 

[jcdenton08]

need to build a partnership now

 

[Man of Harveys]

This is POOR

 

[hans kraay fan club]

and now Simpson gone, lbw - looked to keep rather low.

In a bit of strife.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

133-5. Not going to plan.

 

[Hotchilidog]

Absolutely plum that...

 

[Pevenseagull]

Sussex are back!






TBF there's been some very decent bowling.

 

[Gwylan]

Ah, normal service has been resumed

 

[hans kraay fan club]

It might be time for me to admit the fact that Sussex might have genuinely returned to competitive cricket...

No need for an inquest into this performance. Very clear who is to BLAME

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Let's hope we bat deep

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Worthing's Mason Crane into the attack.

 

[vegster]

No need for an inquest into this performance. Very clear who is to BLAME

Sorry, I was too previous...I really thought that we had turned a corner...I'll get me coat.... and, not post on this thread again until post Bish/Bosh/Bash/Pajama tosh has finished...truly sorry

 

[Soton Seagull]

Decent wagging from the tail. Giving us something to bowl at.

 

[jcdenton08]

Decent knock in the end! Think our boys will get some joy on this

 

[Change at Barnham]

[Cheshire Cat]

It might be time for me to admit the fact that Sussex might have genuinely returned to competitive cricket...

Now look what you've done......

I have a soft spot for Glamorgan. Not a very successful county, but won the title the year I was born. The Tony Lewis era. They were unbeaten that season too. I suspect that could be a record for the 24+ match seasons (although Yorkshire and Surrey fans may be able to point to something during the previous two decades)

Not claiming this is the only other case, but I happened to be reading Arthur Lupton's Wikipedia page the other day. Yorkshire won the 1925 County Championship with 21 wins, 11 draws and no losses.

Fans of completely opaque scoring systems will be like a pig in muck with the 20s championship.

Yorkshire also finished unbeaten the following season, but came 2nd to Lancashire.

Interestingly, it appears not to have happened post war up until Glamorgan managed it.
